Defense Costs for Dismissed Case Exceed $100,000

Gender Discrimination

A class action lawsuit was brought against a nonprofit organization that assisted women seeking refuge from domestic violence. A group of men claimed they had continuously been refused services. They initiated the lawsuit against the insured organization. Although the lawsuit was deemed by the court to be without merit during the initial stages, it required a strong defense. Ultimately, the case against the nonprofit organization was dismissed; however, this was after defense expenses had exceeded $100,000.
